[It had to be around here somewhere. For three days, Collin had been chasing a lead he'd gotten from a nearby village. It was primarily rumor; some others called it hearsay. But he'd heard it straight from some of the older folks living there, and when it came to herbs and old remedies...he believed them above all else. It was better than wandering with no clue as to where he was going, so he went to where the locals from the pub directed him.

Of course, knowing where a particular plant was and actually finding the thing were completely different concepts. By now, he'd gathered...he would say maybe a third of the materials he felt like he needed to even attempt to recreate a reverse engineered version of the original concoction that made him what he is today. A hybrid of a creature, some strange mix of human, elf, and unidentified animals. Even if this herb turned out to not work, he couldn't take the chance of assuming it wouldn't. He needed to at least try to find it.

The terrain where he'd wound up had become precarious. The forest gave way to a rocky expanse with small caves and tunnels littered throughout the sides of the mountains. Collin only fully realized he was in trouble when a sudden thunderclap overhead nearly caused him to leap right out of his skin, fumbling his bag before hurrying over the slippery rocks towards the nearest cave mouth just as huge water droplets begin to fall all around him.]

Great...this is just perfect.

[And now the only thing he can do is wait.]
